  • With Blood and Iron

    Any intelligent person (or any fool) knows that to save Russia a merciless struggle with anarchy on the left and counter revolution on the right is essential. This constitutes the essence of the entire programme of Izvestia, Delo Naroda, Rabochaya Gazeta … Kerensky’s “historic” speech at the “historic” State Conference amounted to variations on just…

  • Coronation Address to Greek Parliament

    It is with sincere joy that I address this first greeting to the representatives of the nation.

    My Fellow Countrymen The entrance of our own beloved country into the grim and terrible war for democracy and human rights which has shaken the world creates so many problems of national life and action which call for immediate consideration and settlement that I hope you will permit me to address to you a few…

  • U.S. Declaration of War with Germany

    Gentlemen: By an anonymous summons, an attempt has been made to convene you together; how inconsistent with the rules of propriety, how unmilitary, and how subversive of all order and discipline, let the good sense of the army decide… Thus much, gentlemen, I have thought it incumbent on me to observe to you, to show…
